Recital - Solo dancer froze on stage

Editing now - A dancer froze on stage for a good 16 seconds as she forgot her choreography. I shoot with 2 cameras, so I have both a wide shot and a close-up. I am considering two different edits:
#1 - Cut to the wide shot during the freeze. This acknowledges the incident.
#2 - Keep tight shot throughout, but totally remove the footage of the frozen dancer, and cross-dissolve as best as possible. It will lack some continuity, but removes the odd freezing.

Re: Recital - Solo dancer froze on stage

Suggest asking the client if they would like to take advantage of the ability to negate the on-stage freeze by editing it out. This will help further sell the benefit of having two cameras filming a production, plus the extra bit of 'special' that comes to the table when you are the one who wins the work from them.

Use it to prove that their decision to hire you was the correct one.
